When describing the Rosa Khutor downhill ski course at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, American skier Bode Miller said “it’s very treacherous,” it “has teeth everywhere,” and he even went so far as to say, “If you are not totally focused and paying attention, this course can kill you.”

Those words weren’t enough to scare the BBC’s Graham Bell from taking a trip down the tricky 3,495-meter track, and he brought his camera along so that we could get a first-hand look at what the journey down Rosa Khutor looks like.
